Week 28 – Foo Hai Chan Monastery

This is a Buddhist monastery located at 87 Geylang East Ave 2, Singapore. If you are traveling by train, from Joo Koon towards Paya Lebar direction, you will see the monastery on your left.

The monastery was founded in 1935 and rebuilt in 1961 in the traditional grandiose style of Southern Chinese temples. Later in 1999, the monastery needed to be reconstructed. It was then expanded and reconstructed in the Tang dynasty style with a touch of zen.
